Japan's wartime actions in Manchuria were a genocide, they followed the "Three Alls" policy: "kill all, burn all, loot all". Arguably responsible for the deaths of more than 2.7 million Chinese civilians. https:&#x

Working closer to the front end, I've found that a solid foundation in SQL (to prevent ORM explosions), regex and basic app architecture is far more useful than deep algo knowledge. I've had to use tree traversal like a handful of
